A major key to using behavior charts effectively with your kids at home is to find a reward that your child values.
Don’t worry. Money isn’t the only thing kids value these days…
Get creative and have fun…
Ask your child what she’d like to work toward having or doing and make a list.
Then see how the two of you can make it a win-win situation.
You’ll have a better chance to get the help around the house that you want, your daughter will feel involved and respected and she can earn the things and activities that she wants.
What a great match, right?
Here are some suggestions for simple, meaningful and inspiring rewards that can be used with to inspire your child to complete her behavior chart…
- Pack of baseball cards
- Dress up in adult clothes

Thank you for giving ideas for rewards. They are simple and realistic. We have a spoiled child (of course our fault) so we are looking for ways to simplify and get back on track again thank you.
